I and my family were recently represented by Mr. Fanning in what turned out to be an extremely long and complicated set of court proceeding, which are still ongoing. During the entire time, Mr. Fanning was always well prepared, knowledgeable and available for questions, reassurance, and legal guidance. I would most definitely recommend Mr. Fanning. He has impeccable ethical and moral standards.

Mr. Fanning is a very nice man. At one stage, I was looking to save my marriage and he was very effective at throwing up road blocks to the divorce and trying to move towards reconciliation. Once I was intent on divorcing, I should have changed lawyers. He is well respected in Charles County as a child's best interest attorney. However, some spouses require a cut throat and that's not who he is. I also was not happy with his lack of strategy. I never had good conversations that played out the scenarios of certain moves and counter-moves. He gave a couple of suggestions or went along with requests that really ended up hurting my very, very complex child custody situation. I have no idea how much money I've spent yet, probably $20K if I had to guess, but at the end of the day I felt like I was the most aggressive and creative in the negotiations at the end. He did protect me from agreeing to something that would have labeled me badly at the end. He knows Charles County well and is well respected and a gentlemen. For most regular cases, I think he would be fantastic. In my case, I needed a strategist who could see the moves and counter moves a lot better. I am satisfied with the services in a generic way, but I can't say that I would hire the same person again. Again, great guy and he knows the law, but he needs to be partnered with someone else if you have a really, really messy case.

Epic fail. Charges for every little thing, even if you call him or email him. Had nothing to day in court, as if he were a new lawyer. Shameful and downright embarrassing. Would have done a better job representing myself.
